In February 2013, a man out walking his dog stumbled upon trash bags emitting a horrible smell. The bags contained the remains of Tanya Byrd, a woman with a contagious smile and the heart of a caregiver. 

Note: Tanya’s name is sometimes spelled as Tania, but we’re using the spelling from her obituary and comments from family members. <3
